>Post-doctoral position:
>“Pseudo-Haptic Interactive Techniques with 2D or 3D Web Content”
>
>1-year post-doctoral position is open  at INRIA 
>(National Institute of Research in Computer 
>Science and Control), Rennes, France 
>(salary=2606,80 Euros/month before taxes), under 
>the supervision of Dr. Anatole Lécuyer.
>
>The project is in the areas of Interactive 
>Techniques, Human-Computer Interaction(HCI), 
>Haptic and Pseudo-Haptic Interfaces. It is meant 
>to improve interaction with web content and 
>Internet 2D or 3D applications. It is in the 
>frame of a 2-year collaborative French project 
>involving French SMEs and academic partners. 
>Regular meetings and exchanges with external 
>partners are therefore expected for the postdoctoral candidate.
>
>The postdoctoral program aims at designing and 
>testing novel interactive techniques with web 
>content inspired by pseudo-haptic concept. 
>Pseudo-haptic feedback is a technique meant to 
>simulate haptic sensations using visual feedback 
>and properties of human visuo-haptic perception 
>(on-line demonstrations here at: 
><http://www.irisa.fr/tactiles/> 
>http://www.irisa.fr/tactiles/). Pseudo-haptic 
>feedback uses vision to distort haptic 
>perception and verges on haptic illusions. 
>Pseudo-haptic feedback has been used to simulate 
>various haptic properties such as the stiffness 
>of a virtual spring, the texture of an image, or 
>the mass of a virtual object (see bibliography section).
>
>In this postdoctoral work, the candidate will 
>investigate the adaptation of the pseudo-haptic 
>scheme in the field of internet navigation. It 
>is expected that pseudo-haptic effects will 
>bring novel tactile sensations when browsing 2D 
>or 3D web content. A series of experiments with 
>participants will be conducted to evaluate the various proposed techniques.
>
>The candidate must have a PhD and excellent 
>background in either: HCI, 3D user interfaces, 
>haptic interfaces or other relevant topics. 
>Knowledge in designing and conducting experimental studies is a prerequisite.
>
>Interested candidates should send CV, selected 
>publications and names and addresses of three 
>references to Dr. Anatole Lécuyer (contact information bellow).
